If you'll recall, I conducted a poll last week wherein I asked you to vote for the character you most wanted to see in an Iniquity teaser this week. The results of the poll are in:

Reed won by a landslide...sorry Brennus fans.

What I found shocking is that Xavier came in second. I was chatting with a reader on Facebook and she said that she voted for Xavier because she felt that she knew all the other characters really well, but Xavier is still such a mystery to her. That makes sense to me. SO, I found a teaser that contains both Reed and Xavier in it.

Here's the Reed teaser you voted for from Iniquity with a little bit of Xavier mixed in!*Please note that this teaser is unedited and subject to change*

WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS A TEASER FROM MY UPCOMING FIFTH PREMONITION SERIES BOOK: INIQUITY. IT WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T READ ALL THE BOOKS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I look out the back window, seeing Xavier’s car regain the road from the shoulder and pursue our car. The fogged windshield of his Aston Martin cracks and shatters violently as Xavier's booted foot kicks it away. When it bows out in pieces, he drops his leg and uses his arm to begin clearing away the glass. “What’s he doing?” My eyes go to Reed who’s watching the rearview mirror. Reed frowns grimly, “Evie, get to that ring as fast as you can. Don’t stop for anything. When you have it, find a safe place to hide and call me. I’ll find you.” He opens the sunroof with a touch of a button. “Here, take the wheel.” “You’re kidding, right?” I ask with a squeak, my eyes widening. “We have to stop Xavier from getting there first.” He grasps my limp hand and puts it on the steering wheel. My eyes stray to the rear window again in time to see Xavier break the windshield out completely. He lunges through the opening onto the hood of his car, taking two running steps with his red wings spread wide. Leaping forward from the hood, he glides through the air and lands on the back of our car as his vehicle spins off into a ditch. The Lamborghini bounces hard upon impact, and then it decelerates rapidly. Xavier’s powerful wings beat the air, lifting the back tires off the ground. I have no time to protest as Reed climbs out through the sunroof. His dark, ashen wings open wide as he emerges from the car and lofts into the air. He catches Xavier around the throat with his forearm and yanks him off our car. The tires swerve over the road when the back ones thump onto the ground again. I manage to hold onto the wheel, scrambling into the driver’s seat. I touch the brake, coming to a stop. Shifting the car into neutral and engaging the safety brake, I turn to look out the rear window. Snow drifts in anaconda patterns over the barren pavement. With both of my hands gripping the seatback, I breathe heavily, watching Reed’s wings thrash. He locks arms with Xavier whose wings serrate to red dagger points, and it’s clear that both angels are trying to rip the other’s arms off. Like a revolving door, Reed spins free from Xavier’s strong fists. He runs at our car, hitting the back end; it slides forward on the road despite the brake. “GO!” Reed shouts at me. Then he turns back, catching Xavier around his waist before he can move to my door. Reed throws him back and he tumbles across the ground; he skids to a stop, growls, and rises to his feet. In the next moment, he’s running at Reed with weapons in his hands. I jump out of the car as Xavier uses his spade-shaped blades to slash at Reed. He misses with the one in his right hand, but not with the other in his left. The razor-edge connects with Reed’s cheek, cutting it from his lips to his ear. My wings eject from me as I scream. Reed rears back from Xavier. I lift my hand, making Xavier’s car rise into the air from the ditch; it comes down on the pavement directly behind him. Before Xavier can hurt Reed again, his feet leave the ground as he’s thrust back through the empty windscreen of his car. He lands hard in the driver’s seat, staring at me with a murderous expression. The shattered glass on the pavement collects and finds its way to the front of the car, settling into place and smoothing to transparency. Xavier pounds his fist against it trying to break it out again, but the glass holds. “Evie!” His muffled voice is barely discernible above the sounds of his thrashing. When it still doesn’t break, he slams his shoulder against the door. It doesn’t open either. He beats the window, leaving smears of blood on it from his fists. I walk to Reed who holds his hand to his face to stem his blood. “Are you okay?” I ask worriedly, as I touch his other cheek. “It’s not bad,” he says, reaching out and wrapping his hand around the back of my neck, pulling me to him. He hugs me in an attempt to comfort me. “We need to go.” “Okay, just a second.” I pull away from Reed and go to the driver’s side of Xavier’s car. When I near his window, I bend toward it, steaming it with my breath. Using my finger, I write: UOY ETAH I. Pain shows in Xavier’s mismatched eyes. He leans to the glass and fogs it with his breath. He pulls back, and with his finger, he writes: COME BACK TO ME. He rests his palm against the window. My heart squeezes tight, leaving no room for my blood to breathe. I feel hopeless as my eyes meet his again. I hate this. My hand twitches with the urge to meet his on the glass. Reed backs our car next to me. I back away from Xavier’s window and bump up against the door, blindly searching for the handle. When the door slides open, I retract my wings and scramble into my seat, refusing to look at Xavier again.

*************************************************************Ugh! There's so much more that I want to share with you about this, but I shouldn't. I'm dying. We won't speak of it.Thanks for reading my stories. I'm very grateful!

Holy sweet cannoli! I'm so incredibly torn - and it's all Amy's fault ;) Because all of her angels are so sexy and heart-wrenching... they make me want to sin... A LOT! I just love me some Xavier. I don't know what it is... must be that lifetime of love and waiting. But more that Xavier, I just want Evie to commit - completely and totally - no what ifs or missing pieces of her soul. And for all that Reed has put up with - he certainly deserves it.

I just cannot be sold on Reed because Evie was with Xavier first, so it means nothing now?

If Reed would've been the one to be friends with Tao and not Xavier would everyone want her to STILL be with Reed? No

I've always been team Reed! Now that there is an xavier my opinion has not changed. Yea sure I would love insight into their love affair but it wouldn't change my mind. Everything Evie and Reed have been through together is what has built their love and I'm hoping that love lasts. I would be heartbroken if Reed ends up heartbroken </3. On another note if I had my choice in man, for myself -_- Brennus all day bahaha!

7/29/2013 19:33:53

Correction to my last post. Please do NOT kill of Brennus. He's been a major part in all the books. It wouldn't be the same if he wasn't still a main character.

Team Reed:
I love him so much, that I want to jump inside the freaking awesome book, I want mooooore! Why do I get the huge feeling that it's going to be the last book? I hope not. Ehehe. This is the first book that the main character didn't end up with her soul mate, I ever read. Reed all the way. I wish I had my own Reed. :'( *swoons*

Xavier:
I like him, but he kinda acts like he's so desperate at Evie. The way Evie describes him was hot and cute but when I further read him it's like he's losing “hottie points” he's like Brennus but in a “I'm-a-hot-angel-and-I-get-what-I-want-and-I-want-Evie” I have a small hope that Evie ends up with him. BUT I still want Evie and Reed together. But he's just sad that his “true love” was taken he's a nice person who loves someone desperately. *wipes fake tears*

Russell:
Friendzone? LOL. I was a bit wee sad that Russel found his “aspire” at first I hated Anya but dude I love her now! I just want more drama with Reed, Evie and Russel even though it keeps going the same. Jealousy. Arguing. Blah blah blah. *making weird hand gestures*

Uncle Jim:
I miss him. :( I wish he was still alive. Awesome uncle!! I kinda cry when he said he was honored to be Evie's human father!! *sobs*

Zephyr:
Buns and Zephyr are so cute together!!! The EYES!!! Made me love him and the bad ass attitude. That's all. *covers the side where my heart is located*

Tau:
A really horrible father, whom I thought he was a loving caring father. He thinks he can rule everything and controls it with a snap of his fingers. He needs a shrink. Lol. *pointing an accusing finger*

Amy A Bartol:
One of my favorite authors ever!!! Ahhhh. You are soo extremely talented when it comes to you imagination, I'm sooo jealous. Lol.

GRR i cant wait for the last book. the wait is killing me. loll and i have a feeling when i read it its gonna kill me as well. its getting so complicated, so hopefully the end is amazing and makes everyone happy..i have to say xavier is one of my favorite characters. im not sure why but i do have a soft spot for him and brennus.
